What Pavers Should I Use for My Landscape Renovation Project?

Some of the most common types of pavers include brick, concrete, cobblestone, marble, flagstone, rubber, and porcelain, but how do you know which material is right for your project?

Not all pavers are made equal – what works for your backyard patio may not be the right choice for your driveway or walkway.

Your driveway gets more traction than most other parts of your outdoor landscaping. For your driveway, consider this checklist when deciding which pavers you should use:

1. What paver is best for drainage?
2. Which paver is the most durable and sustainable?
3. Which paver requires the least amount of maintenance?
4. Will the paver increase curb appeal and potentially increase property value?

Each of these questions should be asked by homeowners during the landscape design process. Many homeowners love the aesthetic of cobblestone, and while this may make sense for your walkway or backyard patio may not be a realistic option for your driveway.

Paving stones for your pool deck, walkway, driveway, or patio remodel are a surefire way to update your landscape design and enhance curb-appeal. For homeowners planning to sell, paving stones also increase the value of your home and can even help to reduce your carbon footprint!
